Patent number: 9384777Abstract: A system provided for eliminating access to data within a writable storage media cartridge. The system comprises a writable storage media drive, such as a tape drive. The writable storage drive determines if at least a first portion of data on the writable storage media is encrypted. If it is determined that the first portion of data is encrypted then the writable storage drive shreds a second portion of data within the writable storage media cartridge related to said encrypted first portion of data. The first portion of data and the second portion are not the same portions of the writable storage media cartridge.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2007Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Wayne Charles Carlson, Cheryl Marie Friauf, Gregory Tad Kishi, Duke Andy Lee, Jonathan Wayne Peake

Patent number: 7882328Abstract: Provided are techniques for cancellation of premigration of a member in a chain. A set of premigration messages are received, wherein a separate premigration message is received for each logical volume in a chain of logical volumes. While processing the premigration messages in order of receipt of each of the premigration messages, a cancel message indicating that premigration of a logical volume in the chain is to be cancelled is received. In response to determining that the logical volume whose premigration is to be cancelled has not already been transferred to physical storage media, premigration of the logical volume is cancelled by removing a premigration message for that logical volume from the set of premigration messages and premigration of each other logical volume in the chain of logical volumes is continued in order of receipt.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2007Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Cheryl Marie Friauf, Norie Iwasaki, Yuuji Kibuse, Gregory Tad Kishi, Koichi Masuda

Patent number: 7757052Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for recalling a logical volume from a mountable media for use in a virtual tape server. The apparatus includes a receiving module, a queuing module, and an optimizer module. The receiving module receives recall requests for logical volumes stored in a mountable media such as a tape cartridge. The queuing module places the requests in a queue to be processed in turn. The optimizer module reorders the queue based on one or more optimization rules in order to process the recall requests more efficiently.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2005Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Keith Anthony Bello, Cheryl Marie Friauf, Gregory Tad Kishi, Mark Allan Norman

Patent number: 7627786Abstract: With detection of a selected error event involving a data storage drive and data storage media, a subsystem attempts to move the media to another drive, and conduct a similar operation. The subsystem separately tracks successive error events of individual drives and individual media, wherein a complete successful operation breaks the chain of the successive error events; and upon the number of successive error events reaching a threshold, fails the data storage drive or the data storage media. Error events are categorized into: 1) error events before or during a mount of a media into a drive; and 2) error events after a successful mount of a media into a drive; and conducts the tracking, comparing and failing steps separately for each of the categories for the drives and the media.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2006Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Keith Anthony Bello, Cheryl Marie Friauf, Gregory Tad Kishi, Duke Andy Lee
